Cheap subsitution for paint, etc

hi,

as everyone knows, paints, primer, wax for modelling are pretty expensive and i'm wondering if we can use substitutes...

1. for spray paint, can we use automotive type? I saw them selling for $2 for a 400ml .... as compared to tamiya ones which cost $4 for 100ml!

2. automotive wax for tamiya wax ... $6-8 for a big bottle compared to $10 for a small bottle....

3. enamel paint at paint/ hardware shops at $0.60 for a small can

4. thinner at hardware shops ... but don't know for wat type of paint...

5. primer ...etc.....

thanks
